The only way we are gonna gain recognition is by winning OOC games esp P5 games. What do you predict our conference OOC record will be overall? against P5s? against other G5 conferences.

just going by the conference espn has them in right now

I think we will probably be 6 or 7 games under 500 mainly because the bottom teams are really going to drag the percentage down, also I give Georgia Southern, Ark St., ULL a good chance for the upset against West Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri. To me the most important OOC games are against the MAC and USA, I counted 10 games against those 2 conferences, we need to win atleast 7

I agree. If we can win the the majority of those games and maybe steal a couple games from AAC or MWC I think we put ourselves in a good position. And we need to win all of the FCS games. They are gimme games for a reason. No reason anyone should be in the bottom 10 this year

OVERALL:
Wins - 17
Losses - 27 (2 FCS)

G5:
9-6

I'll go out on a limb and say zero P5 wins!

I don't know what to expect from Ga Southern OOC. 2-2 isn't good enough, but 3-1 would be incredible!

We should beat the Citadel by 3 touchdowns, although that is not an easy FCS game... that dang option can be tricky. I think we'll be the favorite against Western Michigan, but they are a pretty dagum good G5 team. Honestly, most of Eagle nation is somewhat expecting an upset over WVU or UGA and will be disappointed if we don't win one of those.

My overall statement:

No FCS losses this season. (YAY)
No P5 wins. (BOO)
No Sun Belt team goes o'fer in OOC games (YAY)
We could have as many as 5 1-3 OOC teams (BOO)
I see realistically 3 teams that have a good shot at 3-1 OOC (YAY)

And the Cajuns have the best shot (in my opinion) to start the season 4-0.
Idaho has the best chance to go 0-4 (Georgia State might not be the stronger team, but they have an easier OOC than Idaho).

E$piN rarely looks past the $EC. They play a full CUSA schedule.

Total OOC: 20-24

At least we get a new HC

ULM also plays at Hawaii in week 13. They have 5 OOC games because of the "Hawaii Rule"

I think Houston will be a tough game for us. They have an incredible coaching staff now.

Worst case, TXST goes 2-2, but I like our chances for 3-1. ......

ODU may be a toss up on the road, though I think we'd be slight favorites. But do you really think we're losing to a 4-8 Wyoming team at home?

Bohl will give you guys a tough matchup I'm sure, but I would pick you guys as the favorites.

Im a GS guy but I hope App State beats the piss out of Old Dominion.
